This has been made using die-cuts. I love this die. So many ways to use it. I've added a hint of colour too as to not make it completely white. The snowflakes have been punched out too. Twine, button & pearls to finish :)

I hope the weather where you are is better than here in the UK. It's dry but really cold. No snow yet either :(

Loved seeing all the CAS creations from the last challenge over at CWWC, but we have a new challenge starting now. We are sponsored this challenge by Kenny K. They have some lovely images.

This fortnights challenge is "PARTY!!!"

So this is what I've come up with

I've used an 8x8 stepper card for this 21st birthday card. The image is Madison Attitude which can be found HERE. She's been coloured with promarkers and I've added various embellishments to jazz up the card.

Can't wait to see all the different creations you come up with!

I'm also entering my card into the challenge over at Kenny K Krafty Krew, theme is "Anything Goes"

The image has been coloured using promarkers. I may add some glitter to it as well. I'll update the post if I do :) I've used a snowflake embossing folder for the background and added some red gems to contrast with the green layering and the green ribbon.

Hope everyone is well on this dull morning.. I'm back this week. I really struggled with the decoupoage challenge from last week at MTTC. You know when you try so many different images and nothing looks right?! I had that. Then admitted defeat :(

But, this weeks challenge isn't a struggle, for me anyways :)

"Time & Space" is our new challenge.

You can think outside the box with this one. The possibilities are endless.

I've gone with Space & even made a christmas card!

This super cute guy is from Digi Stamp Boutique, he can be found HERE. The sentiment comes with the digi too. I've coloured him using promarkers. I couldn't decide whether to glitter up his christmas hat, so I didn't but no doubt I will end up doing so! LOL

Now I'm hoping there are no hiccups with the blog post going live as for the first time in about 4 years, I'm having to work a saturday!! Wow. I don't work Saturday as I work every Sunday. My choice, I find Sunday's boring lol.

So use a charm on your card. I must admit, I struggle with these as I never know how to use a charm (as funny as it sounds)

I wanted to keep the card quite clean and not knowing what the colour scheme was, I wanted to keep it neutral so went with all white. You can't really go wrong with all white can you. No buttons from me on this card but I did sneak the twine in. The flowers in the top right corner are die cuts along with the swirls. The image is from Tiddly Inks. The white cardstock is backed onto silver shimmer card too.

Now, this card I made for a girl, she loves music and she loves to sing. If you ask her what she likes to do, she says her hobby is singing, perfect! I did think slightly out the box there. Here is the card...

The music paper is a download from a store on etsy. It's amazing!! The image is by All Dressed Up. These images are super cute and perfect for any occassion. The music notes are die-cuts along with the numbers. Had to get a bow in there too with a button! (I think it's my signature thang! LOL) I think I used spectrum noirs to colour her in. Again, sentiment was printed off the computer.

I struggled with this! I made xmas tags last year but I had no inspiration at all until I looked at some of the xmas images I'd coloured, then bingo!

Here's what I've got... It's not your conventional tag mind...

The boot is a digi from Just Inklined. I do love their images. I've glittered up fur and the buckle. Well if you've got bubbles in a bottle, it'd be rude not to glitter up the boot! The white card has been embossed as well. And of course..... order is restored!! The button and twine are back!! Sentiment printed off the computer.

We are sponsored by The Stamping Chef for this challenge. I've used Attitude Avery which you can find HERE. If I was in digi form, this is what I'd look like! LOL

I read a lot and usually have different books on the go plus a bookm on my kindle and I'm forever suing bits of paper for a bookmark so I've made myself a bookmark! The name on it, is mine :)

I've made it very simple purely because of putting it inside books, sometimes they can make indentations on the pages. She has been coloured using promarkers. I wanted to colour her claret and blue, but red and blue is near as damn it and there was no way I was colouring her pink! Added a brad and some ribbon and a few pearls, and of course the die cut of my name :)

So sorry its a late post. Hopefully, the gremlins are gone and it's back to normal service! Have fun

His coloured with promarkers and is from Make It Crafty. His a bit of a cheeky, cheery Santa. Didn't want to go OTT with this card either. The spots are a bit overpowering lol. No twine or buttons either.. think I was having one of those days!

Anyhows, must dash.. enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing all those Santa's!

Has nothing to do with reading all the "How To Train Your Dragon" books and watching the films and the first two series, over and over again... I think I know the first film word for word!

Made this for my Auntie's Birthday. She loves dragons. It was off my Dad & Mom for her. She also loves purple and pink so it fitted in quite well. The "you can never have too much cake" was printed off the pc.

Now I don't usually do halloween but I did have this digi stamp from Make It Crafty.

After colouring her in, I now love her! I wanted to keep the card CAS and make the image the main focal point but with the emphasis on the "Be Spooky" sentiment that I've added googley eyes too. The sentiment was printed off the computer.

Use a teddy bear on your creation. This must be an image and not papers.

I've used Benji bear from Daisy's Digi's. He can be found HERE. I wanted to make him a lilly different so added the bow tie, which is a die cut and a tiny little button. He's been coloured with Spectrum Noirs. The card sort of has a seaside feel... I think that's the stripey paper. Reminds me of deckchairs! LOL

Anyways, enough rambling. Would love to see what everyone comes up with!

The image I've used is "Queen's Coronation Sassy" which can be found HERE
The sketch I've borrowed is #311 form Sketch Saturday which can be found HERE

I've cut out the image and coloured her using Spectrum Noirs. The white panel on the left handside is embossed with tiny pearl gems to pick out the detail. The sentiment is printed off the pc. You'll also get to know that I either use ribbon or twine on most of my cards! I love them lol.

Luckily, right at the last minute, I'm talking last night! My mate text and said "I need a card for my mate, she loves beer" I thought "Great! fits in with the challenge, but how do I make beer feminine?!"

I think I've pulled it off. It's amazing what a bow can do! They both loved it so I'm happy with that.

Super quick post from me this morning, off to find wedding stuff for my best mate. Invites are all done. Now it's just everything else lol.

So, I wanted something a lilly different but still super cute. Here's what I came up with..

It's an A5 card with two cut out circles, two dogs and lots of bling! They did take a while to stick down but it was worth it. And the lilly girl it was for absolutely loved it. She's put it in a frame and up on her wall. Bless. The dogs and bone I cut round and 3D'd them so they were level with the white linen card. Every card I do, I have to add at least a button and/or ribbon or twine. I think it's a signature thing! lol.

I've gone with blue on an awesome mermaid from SBS, which you can find HERE.

I went with a spotty theme I think. The light blue is embossed card and then the use of spotty papers. Of course there had to be some ribbon, twine and a bow on it. I think that's my signature thing so you know it's a card made by me lol. The pearls I added so they looked like bubbles. It works I think. The sentiment comes with the digital image.

One of my favourite types of card use on your creations this week over at My Time To Craft

"Use Kraft"

You can colour on it or mat & layer with it....as long as it can be seen!

The only thing I didn't do was colour on it. I LOVE using kraft card!

As I was using kraft card, I decided to use brown tones on the whole card. The image is from Crafts and Me and I've coloured her using Spectrum Noir pens TN9, TN8, TN7, TN6, TN5, TN4, TN3, TN2 & TN1. The background is my new embossing folder, which I love! it's awesome! I've added quite a few embellsihments on this card which is something a lilly different from me.
